Sets and other data structures | Data Structures in Mathematics Math Foundations 151
In mathematics we often want to organize objects. Sets are not the only way of doing this: there are other data types that are also useful and that can be considered together with set theory. In particular when we group objects together, there are two fundamental questions that naturally a

Daniel Dennett - What is Belief?
Everyone has beliefs—some are simple and basic (e.g., my name, age), others complex and controversial (e.g., God? Soul? Politics? Morality?). But what is the concept of 'belief'? What does it take for some statement to be a 'belief'? Click here to watch more interviews with Daniel Dennett

Logic: The Structure of Reason
As a tool for characterizing rational thought, logic cuts across many philosophical disciplines and lies at the core of mathematics and computer science. Drawing on Aristotle’s Organon, Russell’s Principia Mathematica, and other central works, this program tracks the evolution of logic, be

The deep structure of the rational numbers | Real numbers and limits Math Foundations 95
The rational numbers deserve a lot of attention, as they are the heart of mathematics. I am hopeful that modern mathematics will (slowly) swing around to the crucial realization that a lot of things which are currently framed in terms of "real numbers" are more properly understood in terms

Graph Data Structure 1. Terminology and Representation (algorithms)
This is the first in a series of videos about the graph data structure. It mentions the applications of graphs, defines various terminology associated with graphs, and describes how a graph can be represented programmatically by means of adjacency lists or an adjacency matrix.

One striking feature of the current political environment in the United States and elsewhere is that there are large groups with divergent beliefs about matters of fact, including ones where there is a rich and widely accessible body of scientific evidence available that clearly favors one
